Abstract:
A recent report by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management shows much evidence that water quality across the state has improved substantially over the last two years. One of the major reasons for improvement is the intensive point-source pollution control effort launched in 1972. However, water quality concerns remain for coastal development, watershed protection, water toxicants, and eutrophication.

Abstract:
A drought in 1968 caused officials in the Piedmont to reevaluate water resources, management, and legal precedents for distribution. The author reviews both legislative measures pertaining to water supplies and the organizations responsible in overseeing and enacting these laws from the early 1950s through 1968. This evolution of policy lead to the 1967 General Assembly decision to combine departments in to the Department of Water and Air Resources, an entity entrusted to ensure both the quantity and quality of water distribution.
